Raajma, also known as red kidney beans, is a staple in Indian cuisine, especially in North Indian households. This protein-rich legume is typically prepared in a spiced tomato-based curry, often paired with steamed rice for a wholesome meal. Native to Central America, Raajma has been embraced globally for its nutritional benefits. It is high in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential micronutrients like iron, magnesium, and folate, making it a heart-healthy food that aids digestion and supports energy levels. Additionally, Raajma contains antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation. While it’s a healthy option, care should be taken in preparation, as undercooked kidney beans contain toxins that can cause digestive discomfort. Traditionally slow-cooked to ensure safe consumption, Raajma is a delicious and nutrient-dense addition to a balanced diet, provided portions and accompaniments are mindful of overall calorie intake.
